Halesowen is full of residential streets with many semis and sloping gardens, which shapes how a boundary fence has to be built. A fence that looked fine on the flat can look crooked on a slope. Send us the details and we will get back to you to arrange a visit.
Fencing a sloping Halesowen garden
Sloping gardens are the main challenge on many Halesowen streets. A fence on a gradient cannot just follow the ground, or the panels look wavy and gaps open at the bottom. We usually step the panels down in level stages, with the posts set at the right heights and the gravel boards dealing with the gap where the ground falls away.
Stepping takes more planning than a flat run. We measure the fall along the whole boundary, work out how many steps are needed and set the posts so each panel sits level. Done properly, the fence looks deliberate and neat, and it stands up better because the panels are not being pulled out of square by the slope.
Replacing worn boundaries between semis
Semi-detached gardens share a boundary, so the fence between two houses often involves both sides. Before we replace it we suggest you check who owns it. Ownership is not always obvious, and agreeing with your neighbour early avoids awkward moments once old panels are down and the line is open.
We take out the failed panels and posts, dig out what we can, and set new concrete posts in the same line unless you agree otherwise. Closeboard gives a strong, solid result for the long side boundaries. Lap panels suit shorter lengths. Either way, gravel boards at the base protect the timber from wet soil.
Getting a Halesowen fence job started
Send us your address, photos of the fence and a rough length, and say whether the garden slopes or has awkward access. We also work in Cradley Heath, Stourbridge, Hasbury and Blackheath, and B62 and B63 addresses are part of our regular area. We will get back to you to arrange a time to look at the job properly.
Questions about fencing in Halesowen
Can you fence a steep garden in Halesowen?
Yes. We step the panels down the slope in level sections, with taller posts where needed and gravel boards covering the gaps. Steeper ground takes longer to set out, so photos and a note about the fall help us plan the work before we come to see it.
Who owns the fence between two semis?
It varies. Deeds sometimes show it, and sometimes ownership is shared or unclear. We cannot decide this for you, so please check your paperwork and talk to your neighbour before work starts. Agreement on the line saves problems later.
Will you remove the old fence panels?
Yes, we can take down the old panels and posts and take them away with us. Please mention it when you contact us so we can plan the time. Old concrete posts take extra effort to remove, so tell us if you know they are there.
